Rivers Senator, Barinada Mpigi Dies At 64 by Newsgeek24(op): 3:41pm On Feb 19
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Works, Barinada Mpigi, is dead. He was 64.

Mr Mpigi reportedly died on Thursday, according to a source who confirmed the development to The Very Nigerian.

Born on June 23, 1961, the late lawmaker represented Rivers South-East Senatorial District until his death. He was elected to the Senate in 2019 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Before his election to the Senate, Mr Mpigi served in the House of Representatives. He was first elected in 2011 and secured a second term in 2016.

During the Ninth Assembly, he chaired a joint Senate committee established to investigate crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region. He also served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Works.

Further details surrounding his death were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.

So sorry about his death. May God console his family.
But can politicians learn from this? Can Wike and his group learn from this, that life and power belongs to God only. Wasn't he amongst those who fought against Gov. Fubara and said no second term for him?
This is life for all of us.

2027, 2027, we will do this, we will do that. We have the structure, we are on ground. We are the rainbow colour, on your mandate we shall stand.
If only these politicians know tomorrow, they will stop their boasting and amend their ways.
My condolences to his immediate family and political associates.

Does he belong to the former governor Wikes camp?
Was he amongst those who planned and agreed that SIMILAYE will not rule Rivers State after 2027 elections?

Nobody knows tomorrow.

It's very painful that some Nigerians accepted to support evil because of what they are promised today.

All his fleet of cars, and you need to see these people when they are visiting their constituents. All his houses, investments, very green bank accounts, wive, children, girl friends, etc. He has abandoned all.

And can the living learn any lesson from this senators death. It is him today, it can be the turn of someone else tomorrow.

Empty we came same empty all the living shall return.

Please let's learn to love one another.

Ever since the mentality of Wike and the Speaker Of The HOA and other political animals of that state's extraction came to the fore, I don't rate Rivers people any longer.

They can hurt each other trying to please or make Tinuboo feel like a messiah

You type as if you too will not kpai. Can you also learn from this.

Whether one is good or bad, no one can prevent death.

Everyone's time must surely come including your own time.

Just extend your condolences and move on.

Go to his village in koroma in Tai LGA or his entire Constituency, the man is loved as he performed well.

Everybody is grieving for his death. Meaning his a good man
